WiFi connected but message from mail and Safari "can't connect to server"

My WiFi went down and rebooted. WiFi connected on iPhone, IPad and MacBook Pro. The iPad gives an error message from mail, Safari and other apps, "can't connect to server". What is wrong and how do i correct settings on the iPad?

If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it "can't connect" to my yahoo mail account, despite the fact that I can receive mail from that account. The banner appears with my coded password highlighted and asks me to choose 'cancel' or 'ok'.

I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it 'can't connect' to my Yahoo account despite the fact that I am able to receive mail from that account. It appears with the name of my Yahoo account, my password (coded), and the choice to 'cancel' or 'ok'. If I click either, the banner goes away but comes back soon. I can open Mail and see that all accounts are online. I get the banner SEVERAL time during a session - very annoying!
I have several accounts, but this only happens with Yahoo and sometimes Hotmail. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this Mail issue?
Thanks.

I have 5 IMAP and 1 POP (Hotmail).
The Yahoo is IMAP.

Hi ..
Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Make sure your Mac OS X software is up to date.
Disconnect the iPad from your Mac.
Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
If any updates are required, make sure to restart your Mac after the updates are installed then connect your iPad and see if iTunes recognizes it under Devices.

Wifi connected but cant use mail or safari

i posted this last night but cant find it now. anyone have issues connecting to wifi in an office or free wifi but cant use mail or safari?
thanks

mtgmt,
Wireless Access Points, which are often integrated with your router, respond to DHCP requests in different ways for different devices. You can check the IP address assigned to your iPhone by going to Settings -> Wi-Fi and selecting the network you are joining.
Are you getting an IP address, router IP, and DNS server information? If not, hit the renew button at the bottom of this screen.
Is the network you are connecting to secure? If so, and using WEP, when you initially enter the key, make sure you select WEP Hex or ASCII instead of WEP Password.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Mail and Safari no longer connect to the Internet, but connection is live?

I have a Quicksilver G4 running OSX 10.4.11 with Safari 3.0.4 and Mail 2.1.3, connected to the Internet via Ethernet and a BT home Hub setup. Recently the Mac refused to connect to the Internet although a PC connected to the same hub did. I tested the connection with a laptop and found the cable to be fine and a good connection. I ran system diagnostics which tells me the Mac is connected to the Internet and the connection is fine - except that Mail no longer sends or receives mail, and Safari tells me I am not connected to the Internet.
I've tried every test I can think of - the connection appears fine as far as the ethernet cable, Network Diagnostics state that I have a good connection, yet neither application will connect to the server. I have changed no software in years other than Apple updates, and this is the first problem in many months of trouble-free usage.
The BT Home Hub is showing as an active location in system profiler, all else that should be, appears enabled. Can anyone help?
What more can I do to get my Mac back on-line?

Hi Heather,
In System Preferences>Network>Proxies Tab, make sure none are checked ON.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Airport Interface...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
So if you put 17.149.160.49 in Safari's URL bar & it connects to Apple, then these DNS numbers should cure it.

Importing images from Mail and Safari

Importing photos from a web-site (with Safari via contextual menu) or from an e-mail (Mail) by asking to save in iPhoto, does not work for me on niether my G5 desktop neither on my PowerBook G4. On my fathers's iMac G5 it works perfectly. Is there a spesific setting I should do for this to work?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4)

This behavior is often caused by a problem with Apple's iPhoto installer, when you're installing a newer version of iPhoto over an older one. It leaves some files behind from the old version that interfere with the import function. Try deleting the iPhoto application and reinstalling it fresh from your iLife install disc.

It keeps saying "failed to open page" and "safari can't find the server"...how do i fix it?

I have no idea why...and I am new to Mac. I have a Macbook Pro and it keeps glitching with question marks instead of images and it won't load the webpage

Please enable guest logins and log in as Guest. Launch Safari and test. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and disable it if you wish.

On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account. What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

On 3G we cannot send Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine. We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this.

Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

Tried to connect my messages from my phone to my macbook, but the accounts tab under preferences won't let me type in my Apple ID and I can't save, cancel, or exit out of the window

I just got a new MacBook Pro today. My friend explained to me how to connect my messaged from my phone to my Mac, since they weren't connected yet. I opened Messages > Preferences > Accounts. My Apple ID and account info was already there and it was enabled, but the messages still weren't syncing, so I disabled it and tried to add the account again. I went to put in my account info, but I realized there was no space to put in my Apple ID, even though it said to. I typed in my first and last name, password and country, but when I clicked "save" nothing happened. The section that asked my ID, name and password disappeared, the "save" button keeps flashing, and I can't "cancel" or exit out of the window. If I press "cancel", an alert message appears but all it says is "(null)". How can I fix this so that I can exit out of it? It won't let me shut down because of this.

It will only sync with new messages received after Mac's Messages is configured and running.
It will not synced old messages.

"Modem Connected" but Mail and Safari are dead....

Hello Apple People, a newbie here. Hope this is a reasonable question.
I have successfully connected my SonyEricsson via Bluetooth to my MacMini, and via USB to my G3 iBook, with reported connection speeds of 2400bps on each machine (although I have read separately that this might be an unreliable figure). I am only looking to get a slow internet connection, but both the email and the browsing are timing out with no content to display. It's taken me about six hours to get the thing connected (what joy when it finally did!) but now it's behaving as though it is not connected at all. Any idea what might be stopping things getting through?
Any hints most welcome, and thanks for your time.

Forgot to mention the model (K800i) earlier, but having now been on the 'phone for the third time to Vodafone support, it seems that the problem lies not with my hardware or software but with the account settings on my mobile phone. The guy at tech support said to let this forum know that the key was to have the APN IAS (Internet Access Sock) added to my account. This they have now done on my account, although they said it would take up to 24 hours to activate.
I'll feedback if I get through.

TS1559 My iPhone 4s shows does connect to my wifi router but then after a while it shows still connected but does not open a page. I have to turn wifi off and on again to get the job done. it is annoying.

I am using iPhone 4s. I can connect to my home wifi network but it works briefly, then whilr it shows connected with good signal strength, but I can not open a page in safari. I have to turn off the wifi and turn it on again for connection. This goes on and on. Very annoying. Please can anyone solve this problem?

Hi ,
thx for the feedback,to clarify my question :
1-i am able to connect to any wifi network in airports, public places , my home , office , etc.o to get in is no problem.
2-I can also log in into a specific website eg: was in Paris 2 days ago and could log in into the portal of a wifi provider.
3-But when i have to log in providing an e-mail address or other info , i get into a loop where i can not get into the next page but i do get always redirected to the page asking all the info.
This is not only at an airport , i do have it also with my own internet service provider , even if i want to log in from my home into their webmail site i get into this loop where after putting in all the inlog data i get that same page back every time.( i can get mail through my normal mailbox , no problems here)
I do have indeed OS 6 and it is an iPad 2.I do not have the problem with an iPhone 4 S when i use wifi and here i also do have os 6 !!
